Greenville’s Overholser to be Featured in Solo Art Exhibition
“Transitions” will Showcase Over 25 Original Oil Paintings at the Conneaut Arts Center with a Reception on July 13th
GREENVILLE – The Conneaut Arts Center is excited to host an exhibition
of paintings from Jennifer Overholser for its July show. Titled
Transitions, the show will feature over 25 original oil paintings from
the Greenville based artist.
“Life is full of transitions,” Overholser said. “For me, the last few
years saw transitions from college to the working world, single life to
married life, and from growing up in northeast Ohio to now living here
in Greenville. You’ll see some of these transitions in my work as my
landscapes represent various parts of the state from Ashtabula County
where I grew up to local scenes right here in Darke County.”
In addition to life’s transitions, Overholser said another reason for
the title is that she is currently transitioning her method for
painting. “Most of my earlier works were all oil paintings created
using brushes, and you’ll see some of these in the show. In the last
year, though, I’ve begun working with palette knives. It really allows
you to be more expressive and creative with the piece and helps to add
texture.”
While the show will feature both paintings completed with brush and
palette knife, Overholser said one common theme in the show is the
overall style. “While the landscapes all represent different parts of
the state, everything I do is inspired by the Impressionists. I’ve
always loved the result of the bold strokes and markings in
Impressionist styled works as it truly helps give each painting its own
unique personality.”
The public is invited to an artist’s reception at the Conneaut Arts
Center located at 1025 Buffalo Street in Conneaut, Ohio on Saturday,
July 13th from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Light refreshments will be served,
and Overholser will be on hand to talk about her works and answer any
questions visitors may have. The show will remain on display at
the center through the end of July. A portion of the proceeds
from paintings sold at the show will go to benefit future programs
offered by the Conneaut Arts Center.
